I was so blessed to have been your niece. Your love for family was evident to us all. You always welcomed us to come visit and were even brave enough to host a Naughton family reunion in Colorado which meant entertaining 20 or so of us at one time. I will always remember how fun that was and your laughter at us kid's play but especially Kim, Krissy and Kathy's roles and watching the adults passing the "boot." It was there that i learned that family ties are strong and despite distances between us we could pick up right where we left off. You were part of so many milestones in my life...my college graduation, my wedding, my first trip to Las Vegas and so much more. You also helped my through the most difficult time in my life with the lose of my baby by sharing your story. Thank you for always being there, for your strength and for your love of family. I love you always❤

Mom
I was so blessed to be your baby girl. You are such an inspiration to myself, my sisters and all your grandchildren. Your faith never wavered and you are now with your maker living in peaceful rest. I know you were so tired, you fought a good fight. I will miss your smiling face oh so much and our weekly dinners. I love you Mom
